Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence

The Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence is a specialized research institute in biological intelligence, rather than a general university. According to our database, it offers 1 Bachelor's and 1 PhD program. For traditional universities that offer conditional admission in broad fields like Computer Science (Informatik), it would be more appropriate for you to research institutions like TU München or LMU München in Munich. Language proficiency and conditional admission requirements vary from university to university, so you should always check the official website of the relevant university.

Having valid health insurance is mandatory for residence permit applications in Germany. While the AT11 document indicates that your Turkish insurance is valid in Germany under specific circumstances, for long-term residency and studies, you are generally expected to get German statutory health insurance (gesetzliche Krankenversicherung) or private health insurance (private Krankenversicherung). Instead of writing AT11 on the residence permit form, it's best to contact a health insurance company in Germany to clarify your situation and, if necessary, get German insurance. Otherwise, your application might be considered incomplete.

The departure date on the visa form indicates when you plan to travel to Germany. It's important that your travel health insurance start date aligns with this departure date. Generally, your insurance start date should begin a few days before your planned entry into Germany and be valid for at least 3 months. For your visa application, the validity period of your insurance must cover your planned travel duration. When filling out the form, you should provide a realistic departure date, considering the start and end dates on your insurance policy.

Money transfers for a blocked account (Sperrkonto) are typically done through platforms offering international money transfer services. Among Turkish students, some of the most preferred and reliable platforms include TransferWise (now Wise), Remitly, or direct interbank SWIFT transfers. These platforms generally offer lower commission fees and faster processing times. The bank where you opened your blocked account (e.g., Fintiba, Coracle) might also have its own recommended transfer methods, so it's important to first check the instructions from your blocked account provider.

This institute is not a Uni-Assist member, so grade conversion will not be done through Uni-Assist. However, generally, discrepancies can occur in grade conversions. Uni-Assist performs conversions according to its own standards and the German grading system. Different formulas (e.g., the Bavarian formula) can be used for converting from Turkey's 4-point system to Germany's 1-5 point system, which can affect the results. Additionally, the weighting or credits of some courses might be evaluated differently during the conversion process. To get the most accurate information, it's best to contact the international office of the institute or university you plan to apply to and ask about their specific grade conversion methods.

For Turkish students residing in Munich who wish to get their degree recognized (denklik), various resources are available. The process of having your diploma recognized in Germany (denklik) varies depending on your field of study and your target profession. You can generally start by checking the recognition of your diploma and university in the Anabin database. Afterwards, you'll need to contact the relevant professional chamber or state recognition authority (e.g., Zeugnisanerkennungsstelle). You can also benefit from the experiences of those who have recently completed this process by reaching out through Turkish student associations or social media groups (like Telegram) in Munich. Additionally, some consulting firms offer services in this area.
